Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I escaped the Reddit regime a little while ago. I consider myself a marxist-leninist-MZT. Vegetarian and vegan for a few years. I've a lot of thoughts on how marxism and veganism are connected. Never wrote them down. I'd like to start smth like a club for marxist vegans to develop our own proletarian theory. Most vegan theory I found is either openly bourgeois (Francione is a literal TERF) or revisionist (anti-China, anarchist, libertarian). How about fixing this?

This is exactly the kind of discussion around veganism I'd love to see more. Too often it gets incorrectly reduced into an awfully restrictive diet.

In some ways my mostly vegan (sometimes vegetarian) diet is more varied than it was before. The flavour and prominence of meat was doing a lot of the heavy lifting in most meals. When you 'lose' that, you soon find better ways to flavour the plant side of things and that opens a lot of culinary doors.

It only feels restrictive because most restaurants cater to meat eaters first and foremost. That, and because e.g. ready meals are 'for some reason' filled with unnecessary meat products (some of the other comments touch on what those reasons might be).
